    I pay about $50 per month and that includes the charges from Bezeq (the phone company) and Barak (my ISP). That's it.

    The connection is excellent. I don't know who told you otherwise. The phone lines here are some of the best in the world.

    I get my data from e-signal and I use PATS for execution. I have never noticed a lag in data at all.

    I trade the e-minis, but a few years ago, I traded stocks with Lieber & Weissman. Once I was on the phone with Gene Weissman and we timed my order entry with me saying, "NOW" and him saying "GOT IT" almost instantaneously. And I only had ISDN then. He told me that he wouldn't get an order from across the street any faster.

    It seems your potential client has erroneous information. I can't say that Barak is the best, but it's pretty good. Netvision is also good and he should check with both of them.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm not near either of those places. I'm in the north.

  4. I'm curious what US market hours are over there... i suppose I could look it up, but I needed some excuse to say 'Israel rocks.'

    America rocks, too, btw, according to Ted Nugent. And I agree with him. But that's another thread. {/off topic}

    We're 7 hours ahead of EST (GMT +2). That's means 9:30 a.m. is 4:30 p.m. here, so regular trading hours are 4:30-11:00. You don't have to be an early-riser to be a trader here.

    Of course you can always trade the DAX if you want more normal hours....

    If you can think of another question, you can say "Israel rocks" again.

    Sababa;
    Since you asked [ chasinfla] for another question; Do you get CNBC there???:cool:

    ***
    Art Cashin [CNBC] quote ''Short sellers help fuel the rally'' Apparently in response to everyone at CNBC calling downtrends ''bad''

  7. When I was visited Israel, I saw that that CNBC was in fact available as a premium cable channel.

    It's 4:30 to 11:00, not 11:30 to 4:00.
